Essential oils are often expensive and very precious. They have a variety of possible uses, such as massage oils, fragrances, air fresheners, homemade cosmetic additions, aromatherapy, health aids etc., so you are likely to want to keep them for as long as possible to ensure that you get the most out of them. It is quite simple to store them for longevity and to ensure that they do not lose their effectiveness.

Purchase good quality essential oils. If you buy good quality, it will last longer. Always purchase essential oils from a store that has a good turnover, to ensure that you are buying recent stock. Ask if in doubt. You can always return the item if you are mislead.Store the essential oils in a cool place.Store essential oils in dark glass containers. Ensure that the container is airtight. Preferably, purchase the essential oil already packaged this way. If not, or if you are making your own or buying in bulk, transfer to dark glass containers with airtight lids.Store essential oils away from direct sunlight.

Essential oils should not be kept for more than one year. Use them liberally and with joy, for they are a wonderful addition to daily life in many ways. If you do not use them quickly, you risk having the oils change fragrance and possibly turning rancid. There is no value in holding on to them. Where an essential oil has been diluted with a carrier oil (such as almond oil, olive oil etc. for massage oils etc.), the solution will last 6 months if you add a capsule of vitamin E oil. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which means that it has a preservative capacity.Some recommend keeping oils and oil preparations in the refrigerator. This helps to slow down the chances of the oils turning rancid. At the very least, however, they should be stored according to the steps above.
